    Edgerton Buddhist Hybrid Sanskrit Dictionary

    p. 21, col. 1.
    an-abhisaṃskṛta (neg. of abhi°, q.v.; Pali °saṃ-

    khata, see below), not (specially) prepared, of food: Laṅk

    196.12, said or rice offered to infants without proper

    boiling (and seasoning?); not affected (by some outside

    influence), avikopitair indriyair anabhisaṃskṛtair gātrair

    LV 323.16, in description of the Bodhisattva's indifference

    to the daughters of Māra, with senses undisturbed, with

    body-members unaffected. So Tib., lus (body) ma bcos pa,

    lit. not made (up), see Jäschke s.v. bcos-pa, ‘3. made or

    contrived by art, artificial (so Pali abhisaṃkhata is some-

    times used, CPD)…ma bcos, artless, unaffected, genuine;

    it also seems to denote an absence of mental activity (see

    s.v. abhisaṃskāra) or a forbearance of exercising such

    activity, in short that indifference to the world, which is

    so highly valued by the Buddhist.’
